[MlMt] Location of settings folder?

[davecc0000]

I ended up using the Open command in Terminal. Typed “open” and then dragged my BS user folder onto the command line. When I pressed Return the folder opened in Finder with ~/Library accessible. 

My problem now is that I copied (Opt-drag) the com.freron.MailMate.plist file from the Big Sur ~/Library folder to the Sierra ~/Library folder and launched MM. It shows me the empty Account Settings panel. Since this file, as it’s listed in the BS ~/Library folder, has the exact date of my BS computer’s failure, I’m sure this is the right file.

There are no files nor folders relating to freron or MM in the Application Support folder.

Can someone please give me Benny’s email address? (Since I don’t have access to MM, I’m pounding out emails on my phone, which is limited re. list of contacts.) I think I’ve exhausted my options and it’s time for some 1-on-1 communication.

Thanks,
Dave
